How To Start on RIME #1 - Oxygen Not Included (Launch Upgrade) [4k]

[@GrindThisGame]

Glad they helped.

[@Lombardio]

I'm looking forward to watching this series. Your tutorial videos helped me get started. I've been playing on Rime for a couple weeks, and the main lesson I've learned is that the debris from digging will be your main obstacle to expansion. Literal tons of subzero mass sitting on the floor will thwart all your heating efforts in any new area. Adhering to the common strategy of centralized storage to reduce tidy and supply commutes will just freeze the heart of your colony. Any time I plan a new area I dig from the top down, digging a few extra tiles out at the bottom so all the debris lands below my insulated barrier. I put my storage outside the barrier as well, with dedicated tidier and supplier dupes so materials still get moved in a timely manner. I run my cooling loop through the storage room, both because it is a great heat sink, but also so I slowly warm all that material for use, prioritizing dirt, sandstone, and ores at the warm end of the loop since those are the primary materials dupes are bringing back into the colony for farming and construction.

[@GrindThisGame]

Never really thought about all the cold debris. I will move my storage out of the warm base.

[@bobbun9630]

I know I'm necroposting here, as the video is very old, but my own strategy for dealing with early game code on Rime was to avoid spreading out too much, early. That helps keep the cold at bay in several ways, but one important one for crops is that you're not fertilizing mealwood with ice cold dirt! If I need to heat early, I use the kiln rather than the space heater. It requires no power and generates more heat. Of course, the goal is to get into position to be able to use a tepidizer and fluid circuit to keep things warm.

[@starlight4649]

Your playthroughs are long enough that I can rewatch them without remembering what happened, while somehow retaining a good amount of actual content. Well done

[@doctor_owl]

Oh I've been hoping to see a Rime playthrough. I feel like the "backwards" challenge, trying to keep heat in instead of out, is going to be very interesting & a lot trickier than we first expected... We'll see what obstacles start popping up around mid game! ;) My kitten is addicted to ONI videos btw, she loves watching the dupes run around & tries to swat at the curser haha. She might be your biggest fan!

[@manajerr]

This world will definitely make you change your layouts. I put some coal generators and batteries in a room with food and lights to just grow mealwood. Then insulated the room to try and contain the heat.

[@steino92]

Clever use of the battery heat and Portal. This helped me, as a beginner, very much to survive the early game! Had issues with calories and farming before watching your video.

[@alittlebitofkatie]

Loving this map. I did this with a frozen core. My entire oil biome was frozen (I had two rips in the abyssalite) I found that unlike a normal map, you find yourself with such massive temperature spikes. My base has finally settled, but it spent a lot of early-mid game flip flopping between two hot and too cold. Looking forward to seeing how you deal with the challenge.

[@GrindThisGame]

Did you end up insulating the entire base or just food areas?

[@alittlebitofkatie]

@@GrindThisGame whole base. I started off with just the food area and then spread out my insulation as I went

[@kenmolinaro]

I always put the two research benches on either side of the printer gate. That way you get the "lit workplace" bonus for free on all your research.

[@RFC3514]

I generally find that research moves faster than base expansion anyway, and having a steady supply of bristle blossoms is more useful.

[@mattyates9392]

I think it would be really cool to use several rockets to actually farm materials this series!

[@GrindThisGame]

Ok good idea. I did that a few bases ago. I was importing liquid oxygen I think and h2.

[@tevydub2708]

as a very bad heat manager, I love this map. It's actually a very easy one once you've managed to warm a few mealwoods to get started... I finally managed to get to rocketry without everything boiling, but mostly thanks to this map hahaha.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah it's a nice change.

[@KewlCrayon]

My first map after the 1.0 release was RIME, because i knew I already ran into heat problems with any other game. Fortunately, I started right next to a gold volcano and a regular lava volcano. The gold volcano I allow to vent my base with heat (and gold), and the lava volcano I eventually tapped into using steam power.

[@dist0rt3dhum0r]

@5:12 TBH, can you blame them for trying? I mean, they're stuck on a super cold rock with no hot coffee!

I also really like the idea of multiple colonies inside the map and i aswell couldnt really do it yet 😂😅

[@KaladinVegapunk]

I always have a deep oil base for some miners and of course the space base

[@josephburchanowski4636]

@@KaladinVegapunk Typically I have a base in the oil biome to groom a giant slickster colony. I need a lot of slicksters to provide some fuel for my petrol generators and to eat the massive amount of CO2 produce by my ethanol industry. 16 ranches filled with 7-8 slicksters each and a few hundred in an overflow tank where they can't move, but aren't confined and I remove eggs so they don't get cramped. To get the most out of each rancher dupe I have down there in the long term, I need a large amount of incubators, as lullabying eggs is the only way a dupe increases their ranching attribute. It is important to set up a system where the incubator powers off shortly after a dupe provides the lullaby buff, and then turns back on when the dupe is able to re-apply the buff. This way you don't need as much energy production to power several incubators. Some people like using clocks in the automation. I personally like using the weight plate with buffers and filters.

[@s0litaire2k]

Last time I played this map, I rushed the "liquid Tepidizer" and Hydroponics, I just got a couple of dupes on the generators to warm up a tank full of water to around 20c, used it for hydroponic tiles to grow food and the rest to warm up colder areas of my base.

[@GrindThisGame]

Good plan :)

Rime map with slime molds would’ve been okay. It’s so cold that slime lung is nonexistent on the rime map. You would’ve had a ton of nice free and easy algae. Anyway, when I saw you uploaded this video I gasped and had to watch it ASAP. Love your videos ❤️

[@GrindThisGame]

Glad you enjoyed it. More to come.

[@danfr]

Haven’t finished watching yet. Best part of rime from my public test play through was no slimelung and no need to cool anything. Worst parts were finding no living critters or plants for expanding food production and making fibre. I couldn’t even find sleet wheat.

[@carstairstv4700]

The next time you go to start one of these, you should just go on ONI Assistant and find a world seed you want without looking at the map or contents, just searching for specific traits. It's not really cheating since you can do the same thing by refreshing, it just takes longer to do that.

[@1stuntpeanut26]

This playthrough is already great, just because you said you're going to try to switch it up from 4x16 rooms and are using food options beyond just Mealwood early game. We know you can do those well, so it's fun to see a change!

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah I got stuck in the same way of doing things so hopefully this changes it up.

[@0rdnajela664]

I have a Rime world and from my experience, it's best to get Geo active. Cool Steam Vents can do wonders for producing warm/temperate oxygen to distribute through your base

[@Animuldok]

you can also start with one ladder down to leave the initial temperate stone intact so you can grow crops near the printer until you're able to warm the area properly. the temperature should be fairly static for many cycles. This works well (for the opposite reason) on a Aridio or Oassise.

[@xBlueDevil]

So glad you decided on this map!

[@GrindThisGame]

Me too. Fun so far.

[@shroomyzoom]

I've seen a lot of ONI videos and yours are the only ones interesting enough for me to watch the whole thing

[@GrindThisGame]

Thanks!

[@probablynotmyname8521]

Couple of things about the coal generator. The % value on the generator itself refers to how full it is when it should be refilled, so if you always want it full set the value to 100, 50 means “refill me when im 50% full”. Also the generator works on a cycle that cant be interrupted and if the battery hits 100% the generator could still be in a power producing cycle meaning you waste some coal. Set the smart battery to a lower max % like 90 to ensure you dont waste fuel.

[@GrindThisGame]

Ok I will try 90%

[@olshanski]

I think this is wrong. When a smart battery sends a red signal to a coal generator, it immediately shuts off regardless of how much coal it has. it is correct that you set the "refill number" on the coal generator.

[@probablynotmyname8521]

David Olshanski check the oni wiki, it makes the same recommendation. You can also watch them, even after sending a red signal they will often keep chugging away for a second or two.

[@mrburgermaster]

Probably one of the most unique maps from a gameplay perspective. I look forward to the little hamlets you'll set up, and it will be interesting to see geo-vents actually useful for something besides metal, liquids, or gases.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah little heaters for my dupes :)

[@GrindThisGame]

I think if I tried for 20 dupes it would have been a disaster (maybe).

[@jeffbeavers738]

That is a interesting concept of using batteries for heat. I am currently playing the same map, and will probably go ahead and create a insulated room with 10 batteries in it and then circulate air/water around the farms for heating. I know its only a temporary measure, as once the base gets established, heat becomes a issue again, but being surrounded by cold air, makes it pretty easy to manage.

[@GrindThisGame]

Battery hot room with circulation sounds like a great idea.

[@amokriinprolgiid3409]

Geez, this guy started with WAY more copper than I did with my last map. I had to stretch my copper so much before I started getting iron and gold amalgam. This guy, on the other hand, started practically surrounded by copper.

[@nicholasiverson9784]

Slime isn't really an issue on Rime, the cold kills all the germs pretty much by the time you get around to mining it up. The downside is more lack of generic building materials/filtration.

[@MrOssyan]

Slime is straight up just a resurce on this cold map slimelung dies in the first 10 sec when you start :P

[@ErzengelDesLichtes]

3:42 "I have awoken...? There's three of them. I don't know about that. I guess it's told from the perspective of one dupe." I could be wrong, but I think it's told from the perspective of the dupe printing portal. When you reach space the alert says "My dupes have broken the surface..." and it's always told in this singular first person. You must be some sort of overseeing central computer, which either means you don't have a corresponding in-game object, or you're housed in the dupe printer since it's the only thing that's always there.

[@meefstick]

You are correct. The AI tells the story and eventually commits suicide around cycle 4000. Google "ONI lore" its pretty interesting. Basically ai tries to rebuild humanity after they destroy thier home.

[@mindpotato]

i heat up this map by getting the hot water from cool steam vents. i just pump that water around areas that suffer from cold damage then to my farms. works really well, my base is currently over heating

[@GrindThisGame]

haha. yeah I have a hot salt water geyser I'm going to pump around the base I think.

[@magnuscarlsson9969]

I usually start with a Researcher with either Supplier / Suitwearer as secondary interest because it allows for a easier morale curve for pilot(Even if Morale's rarely a issue near the end) or I choose to get the mechanic off interest(Depends on start biome). Then a Digger/Builder with secondary interest in either of those two or Supplier, this allows for a rather strong builder with maxed out digging for the dig + build jobs later on... Being out of the base a long time also gives limited decor morale bonuses so I like the digger to have multi interests getting rank 3 dig, build and suits are quite expensive especially if rushed. The final slot I acctually get a cook with decorating, since you only ever need one of both of those specializations. Researching and Decorating are jobs with limited applications once you are done with early game neither of these jobs will be used for a long time. So I rather give those dupes something to do on the side, my cooks are always high prio cooking and the only one allowed to decorate. My researcher(s) I usually turn into engineers or pilots. I have basicly stopped using the priority tool, I mostly just set "life support" and "toggling" as Very high priority on all my dupes, then just choose by specialization what they should do. I usually name my dupes like "Architect" then just high Priority - build, Normal priority Dig, then the rest I lower to "low priority". Then they will pretty much always do what I want, which Is toggling switches, deal with bathrooms and then the jobs I want them too do like build or dig etc. If you for example set the priority on farmplots too 6-7 suddenly alot of dupes who do it slower then my farmers will "compete" with that Job sending my afrmer somewhere else. A researcher will pretty much always research unless a toilet needs to be emptied etc. Once they don't have anything important to do I just let them do whatever with proximity on since that will make them work more then just run around. Only time I use priority tool are when It's a real emergency and the great thing about having basicly everything priority five(Except storage bins) at five are that a ton of dupes will run over to do the jobs. Going to be interesting too see how you handle the map once some insulations been breached and the cold start to seep into your starting biome. Just don't do my misstake and breach the core for a stupid neuralizer. It got cold very quickly and I had to rebuild most of my base that already ahd very limited resources and manpower.

[@GrindThisGame]

Some good ideas in there. I guess I like to blast through the research but then yeah that dupe goes to waste a bit. They all level up which is nice though.

[@magnuscarlsson9969]

@@GrindThisGame Well my dupes usually reach a high statistic in their "duties" early on. Being able to do more of their role quicker makes sure they get even more experience each cycle. When I look at my current cook for example, he have 14 + 4(Skills) in cuisine on cycle 72 however his other stats are fairly low but the quicker he get on doing cooking the more time he have left over to do other things, in his case decorating which is a thing you can take your time with to finnish up. Starting with 7 in skill are really nice but from past experience I rather spread It out with a +3/+3 as long as the jobs align with one another. Any job + Supplier for example makes sure they can carry more, A normal builder can't for example bring all the materials needed to build most things except tiles and ladders early on and if materials are from the edge they will run back and forth twice o supply the build It's for example really bothering when doing early insulation tiles since Igneous Rocks usually at the edge of the starting biome unless picked up and stored away closer to the building area. My "builders" usually get Hard digging and then a point in supplier that way they can acctually bring all they need to a build at once. Digging is also a job which you don't really benefit alot from early since all the materials are soft in the starting biome making +7 digging skill almost useless compared to either be able to carry more or build faster, not to mention the morale reductions are worth it on dupes who venture outside of the base alot. The difference between my researcher and my builders are 12 morale since they often end up in low decor areas or might miss to eat properly(Usually the same deal with plumbers and Engineers). Starting with a +3 researcher and +3 machine skill dupe are also quite big, since a hybrid can run on the wheel and reach max output 15% faster, so It equals out anyway... a +7 dupe requires outside help to not lose speed. While at the same time setting the researcher up for something to do besides researching. I usually just put down a instant light above the research station(Yes I research basic decorations first, then jumbo battery after that I do farms). Even if a dupe start at 7, they cap out on 20+skills+positive traits. So splitting the interests equals more well rounded dupes in the end. Teaching farmers mechanics for example, make them make fertilizer quicker at the farm stations etc.

[@glassplotful]

Rime is great. No heat problems. No slimelung. The only hard part is growing food... but you can solve that by heating up my water and pumping it over the plants with radiant pipes. Also, this world is hard if you don't have a lot of starting coal.

[@riotintheair]

Slime in Rime is super easy. It's too cold so all the slimelung dies in the first couple cycles. ETA: Rime isn't so hard, but it's definitely different, and is really fun.

Flatulent dupes are free natural gas! Just setup low power filter at the bottom of the base to gather it and you can run some low power equipment on it!

[@GrindThisGame]

It gets stuck in some bad places.. like food farms.

[@arnearne12345]

hey i have a challenge for you basically the same as you have here but bit more extreme i took a map went into creative and lowered the temperature around the whole map except the starting biome to absolute zero it was quite the chalenge let me tell you the moment you cracked open the abyssalite your base was beginning to freeze i can recommend it

Can't believe i never thought to plant bristle blossom next to the printer pod lol

[@probablynotmyname8521]

You need the world generator mod, it lets you fine tune the settings. If you find an acorn then it might be the wood burners time to shine. And of course rust for oxygen production. Finally sore back give -1 to athletics so cots are worth it early on.

[@S_Black]

You can get cots early on, but you don't need them on the first day. Much more important to get the bathroom up

[@probablynotmyname8521]

S Black my first cycle priorities are always, water, 2 toilets, 2 sinks then beds. The problem is that new players may see this video and take gtgs comment the wrong way.

[@GrindThisGame]

I think I said I usually do sinks then bathroom and then beds...

[@probablynotmyname8521]

Grind This Game at 8:05 you said that you dont need beds right away because their stress doesnt go up until you start giving them skills, while this is true i just wanted to point out that the sore back debuff still occurs without a bed.

[@TheGalifrey]

You want nosh beans for tofu in the cold, then spicy tofu! Also mushrooms from slime biomes are good.

[@deathflame66]

Also, maybe you can try some non conventional rooms like how you made the parks using vertical corridors.

[@GrindThisGame]

Will do. It will look like a cubist painting in the end :)

hahaha hilarious end to the first 10 dupes challenge. 1:02:00 uh, oh both toilets are out of order (not to mention all the dupes are still on same schedule!). Whew it got fixed before a mess (even though he didn't notice it)

[@GrindThisGame]

I'm sure there will be a few messes going forward....

[@alexandersen1372]

@@GrindThisGame well at least messes are naturally warm?..........

[@lajf28]

i was waiting for this serie!

[@RPGfreakiod]

the dupes that got stuck at the start had heard that heat rises, so they tried using their brains. that was the result.

[@RFC3514]

But in fact heat doesn't rise, and I've never seen a dupe with a working brain. :P

[@GrindThisGame]

dupes don't have brains... just straw in their heads.

[@RFC3514]

*genetic ooze.

[@Vizi_]

hell yeah, 1st yter who plays my map

[@SnakeUkr]

Yeah! The frozen map!

[@cpypcy]

Rime is probably easiest map there is. It might be trouble a bit if you play without charity pod, but it's real easy fun to play.

[@GrindThisGame]

Yeah I wanted something new and relaxing this time around.

[@hackdotx4060]

Nice, new series.

[@shivaruka9126]

New Series hype!

[@RFC3514]

I find rime maps kind of boring; making your base hotter is generally a lot easier than keeping it cool, and the low temperatures means you don't even need to worry about germs. Also, you'd think it would favour a different approach to food (i.e., go for the gas cooker ASAP and focus on sleet wheat), but frozen biomes in rime are missing the wheat (so much for natural selection, eh?), so it ends up being the same as in other asteroids, just a bit slower because you need to warm up your greenhouses. Meh.

[@MdArtzTGr]

I'm playing my world on Rime currently and I was able to find a few sleet wheet plants. It probably just depends on the seed :/

[@RFC3514]

I've tried three rime maps, none of them had any wheat plants (though you can still get them in care packages, I assume), despite having multiple ice biomes. That was a couple of patches ago, though, so maybe it was some strange bug that got fixed this month (although there's no mention in the changelogs).

[@davidr2002]

I have a challenge for you its to have a map that has 0 water but can use vomit can start the challenge but when able to use pluming do and have plant watering tiles only for farming but can use the starters only till they have the farm tiles must change the grow beds to the farm tile that can use auto watering farm so get cleaners fast and use a biom that can fit the style of no water to start challenge

[@ARandomDizzy]

Time for some ice puns, stay frosty GTG!

[@__ThePotato__]

yeah, he needs to keep a cool head and he'll be fine 😆

[@GrindThisGame]

Just chill out with your puns already.

[@meefstick]

If a dupe gets too cold, put em in a corner. Its always 90 degrees. But seriously, have an ice day

you are the best man i luff ya :)
